Paris Saint-Germain's manager, Luis Enrique, is urging his team to focus on securing victories across all competitions this season. PSG recently defeated Saint-Etienne 6-1, a result that could have secured the Ligue 1 title if Monaco and Nice had drawn. However, Breel Embolo's goal led Monaco to a 2-1 victory over Nice, delaying PSG's title celebrations.

Currently, PSG boasts an impressive unbeaten run of 27 matches in Ligue 1. They are just five games away from matching Nantes' record of 32 unbeaten games set in the 1994-95 season. Additionally, PSG has equalled their club record for consecutive away games without a loss, with 38 matches unbeaten.

Their away record ties AC Milan's achievement between 1991 and 1993 for the longest unbeaten streak in Europe's top five leagues. This consistency highlights PSG's dominance in domestic competitions under Luis Enrique's leadership.

Despite the delay in clinching the title, PSG holds a commanding 21-point lead with seven matches remaining. Luis Enrique remains confident about their chances, stating, "We are already champions; it's just an anecdote when we become champions." He emphasised their ambition to win every available trophy this season.

Upcoming Challenges

PSG faces significant challenges ahead as they prepare for the Champions League quarter-finals against Aston Villa and a Coupe de France semi-final clash with Dunkerque. Luis Enrique stressed the importance of maintaining intensity and avoiding complacency during these crucial months.

"We have two months of competition and we're all playing for titles again," he said. "The easy thing is to relax; we can't let that happen." His focus remains on ensuring PSG competes fiercely in every tournament they participate in.

Luis Enrique expressed his desire for PSG to secure the Ligue 1 title at home in front of their fans at Parc des Princes. They will host Angers on April 5, providing an opportunity to celebrate with their supporters if results go their way.

This season represents a pivotal moment for PSG as they aim to solidify their status as one of Europe's elite clubs by achieving success on multiple fronts under Luis Enrique's guidance.
